I heard your sound clip. Man it sounds awesome!!! Is it really loud in your cab tho??? I think I'd get tired of it being really droneing all the time...
It is only loud if I am really stomping on the gas... For around town driving, keeping around 1500rpms, it's totally silent. There are 3 main speed limits here. 60km/h, 80km/h and 100km/h... That corrolates to about 35MPH/50MPH/65MPH... At 35MPH there is no noise, at 50MPH there is no noise... Around 65MPH the engine is around 1900-2000rpms and there is a bit of a drone... But I turn up the stereo to 20 and I don't even notice it.

Here is a soundclip of a Hemi with 18" glasspacks-

Here is one of a Hemi with 40 Series Flowmaster on a dyno-

Go to Google and type in Glasspacks. I did it and a whole bunch of places popped up. I saw them range in price from $31 to $70.

Go do it the right way the first time. Go with Flowmasters, there is no packing to get blown out. It will definately sound better and last longer. Even though it is a chamber design unlike the preforated tube glass pack, it will increase both horsepower and torque more than a glass pack. If you don't believe me go pay the money to have both put on before and after and see which one has more gains. I had seen this done at Milian International Speedway and I personally did it at Livernois Motorsports.

There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers...

Did you even read this thread? The very first response I gave was this...


ORIGINAL: rob[GL]

Take it from sombody who put glasspacks on his hemi... It does not reduce low end torque...

I removed the stock resonator, and the stock muffler... I took out about 8 feet of exhaust all together... And I welded on a 3"in/3"out glasspacks just after the Y-connect coming from the cats. The glasspack sits pretty much right around the space between the cab and the bed. Just under the rear passenger seats in my quad cab. And it sounds baaaaaaaaaaad. I love it.
